Key Concept

Reflexive Verbs
Notice that some of the reflexive verbs have other special circumstances. Some are irregular but for the most part they are regular verbs that simply have to be used with the reflexive pronouns. They are generally listed in dictionaries with the "se" in front of the verb. As such, they must be used reflexively.

sich erheben to wake up
sich schlafenlegen to go to bed, to lie down
sich amüsieren to enjoy oneself, to have fun
sich anziehen to dress onself
